Abstract in brief

The study investigated whether daily low-impact physical activity, like walking, can improve sleep quality in healthy adults and found that increased activity is linked to better sleep quality, especially in women.
The research was conducted over four weeks with participants from the Boston area, using Fitbit devices to track steps and active minutes, and self-reports for sleep quality and duration.
Results indicated that on days when participants were more active than usual, they experienced better sleep quality and duration, with women showing a stronger relationship between activity and sleep improvements.]
